When Ariana Grande released her single 'Thank U, Next' last November (and the accompanying teen rom-com-inspired video), the now-iconic one liner quickly became part of our daily vernacular. Soon it may become part of our beauty routines: Ariana Grande is cashing in on her smash hit by launching a line of beauty products inspired by 'Thank U, next.'
According to WWD, Grande's company, GrandAri, filed a trademark application for 'Thank U, Next' on April 2 for a number of beauty products, including 'Eau de cologne; Eau de parfum; Eau de toilette; Fragranced body care preparations, namely, body lotions, bath gels, shower gels, body scrubs, body powders, body soufflés, body mists.'
Grande's 'Thank U, Next' line is hardly the singer's first foray into the beauty world. She already has several fragrances under her belt, including Cloud, Sweet Like Candy, Moonlight, and more. Last November, Lush released a pastel purple bath bomb in her honour, inspired by the shimmery purple pool scene from the 'God Is a Woman' music video. At this point, she's a beauty mogul in the making, following behind fellow singer Rihanna's Fenty Beauty, who got a shout-out on Grande's Thank U, Next single 'Make Up.'

The video also featured Grande's close friends, former Victorious cast mate Matt Bennett, Kris Jenner (as the 'cool mum') and Jonathan Bennett (Aaron Samuels) from Mean Girls.
